Squeaky swings and tall grass.
The longest shadows ever cast.
The water's warm and children swim,
And we frolicked about in our summer skin.
I don't recall a single care,
Just greenery and humid air.
Then Labor Day came and went,
And we shed what was left of our summer skin.
On the night you left I came over,
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders.
Our brand new coats so flushed and pale.
And I knew your heart I couldn't win,
'Cause the season's change was a conduit,
And we'd left our love in our summer skin.
The longest shadows ever cast.
The water's warm and children swim,
And we frolicked about in our summer skin.
I don't recall a single care,
Just greenery and humid air.
Then Labor Day came and went,
And we shed what was left of our summer skin.
On the night you left I came over,
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders.
Our brand new coats so flushed and pale.
And I knew your heart I couldn't win,
'Cause the season's change was a conduit,
And we'd left our love in our summer skin.
